Placed on alternate list, but I will be withdrawing. Good luck everyone!
Waitlisted for real this time.Waitlisted, and while on campus grounds for their recruitment day.
+1, 2/22 interviewPlaced on an alternate list
Alternate list, interviewed 2/6
I think it’s the same as a waitlistWhat exactly is the Alternative list?
Basically the same as a waitlist. Geisinger’s can hold up to 380 applicants and offer acceptances up to 30 applicants according to the AAMCWhat exactly is the Alternative list?
Chances are pretty low. I kind of wish that they send rejections instead of a big waitlist because it gives a huge false sense of hope Especially with a waitlist that bigI feel like this alternate is a rejection.
Exactly. Just tell me. I don’t need to be “let down easy”.Chances are pretty low. I kind of wish that they send rejections instead of a big waitlist because it gives a huge sense of false hope. Especially with a waitlist that big
Would actually call this the opposite. Just sitting on waitlists rn and it feels like eternal pain😬 i’d rather be let go so at least I can move on with my life. Hoping for good things for all of us no matter the outcome!Exactly. Just tell me. I don’t need to be “let down easy”.

Bless you.Just got the A after being deferred last month. I'll be withdrawing. Good luck everyone!! 🙂
+1same here.
Last year when I was on the WL it was the latterDo they reject people off the waitlist or just dont reach out at all and keep you waiting until orientation?
They’re the same thing. At this point, you are basically just waiting to either receive an acceptance call or a rejection email towards the end of the cycle.can someone explain to me the difference between waitlisted and alternate list? ~ currently someone on the AL list
Does geisinger prefer WL over Al?
I sent an update letter that expressed my interest as well, however on the portal it says you can send update letters so you should probably provide an update in the letter not only your interest.anyone know if they accept letters of interest?
I don't know. They made it seem like they have a ranked list since they say its their policy not to disclose an applicants rank on the list. However, this is just speculation on my part. Also I think that they just made the WL since they were deferring people before this week, however I am not 100% sure about this.is their WL ranked or just based on the order they add it? idk who was put on that list prior to April so its hard to gauge how the list is organized.
Ugh. That is actually torture. I’m so sorry they have left you completely hanging. My anxiety could never deal with that….Has anyone that interviewed not heard ANYTHING back? I interviewed in January and haven't been deferred, rejected, accepted, or AL.
Make sure to check your mail, I have seen some posts where people said they got correspondence by mail from Geisinger but not any emails about status which is weird but I guess could happenHas anyone that interviewed not heard ANYTHING back? I interviewed in January and haven't been deferred, rejected, accepted, or AL.
I think we are the same person lolok so i too was hit with the AL earlier this month. just curious - a lot of amazing souls on here are promptly withdrawing from the AL, does this mean maybe there’s less than the set 380 people on the waitlist now LOL? so maybe the more people start leaving the AL combined w/ those who are withdrawing their A’s from here gives us waiting for an A a better chance. or am i delusional Looool this was my only MD ii so i am simply just. Sad
